Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu followed Yin Zhengdao back to his residence. Yin Zhengdao opened the courtyard gate, and surprisingly, a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face. He gestured for them to come in.
However, to Liu Xiaoyuan, the smile on Yin Zhengdao's face had a hint of conspiracy.
As they entered Yin Zhengdao's courtyard, Liu Xiaoyuan gave Su Yu a wink, signaling her to be on her guard. Yin Zhengdao seemed very strange, so it was best to be careful.
"Let's talk inside!" Yin Zhengdao opened the door and said calmly.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Since we're already here, we have to go into Yin Zhengdao's room no matter what dangers it may hold.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu entered Yin Zhengdao's room one after the other. The room was empty, with nothing inside.
When Liu Xiaoyuan saw Yin Zhengdao invite him and Su Yu into the empty house, he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, at that moment, the door slammed shut. Then, Yin Zhengdao took out several talismans from his person, muttered incantations, and then the four talismans in his hand flew to the four directions of east, west, south, and north, and were pasted on the four corners of the house.
Although Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know what Yin Zhengdao was doing, he knew that Yin Zhengdao was going to make a move against him and Su Yu.
After doing all this, Yin Zhengdao stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu, saying, "Who exactly are you two? What do you want from me? You'd better answer my questions honestly, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you? We are your apprentice Chen Bei's good friends. He sent us to find you."
Yin Zhengdao snorted coldly and said, "Kid, you can't even lie. Chen Bei would never tell anyone about me unless his life is threatened. I think Chen Bei is already dead at the hands of the two of you, isn't he?"
Damn! It seems lying is a skill, and I need to practice a lot. It appears that Yin Zhengdao began to suspect me the moment I uttered my first sentence.
But that's fine too. Since Yin Zhengdao has already discovered it, let's just tear off the mask and see what kind of abilities this Yin Zhengdao really has.
“That’s right, your good disciple Chen Bei is dead in our hands. He deserved it because he committed many evils.” Liu Xiaoyuan said loudly.
Yin Zhengdao coldly said, "Since that's the case, then I will kill both of you to avenge my disciple!"
"Wait!" Just as Yin Zhengdao was about to make a move, Liu Xiaoyuan shouted.
Yin Zhengdao actually stopped and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, saying, "Kid, is there anything else you want to say before you die?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I just want to ask where those children Chen Bei gave you went?"
Yin Zhengdao laughed and said, "Those kids, right? Since you want to see them so much, I'll let you see them."
As he spoke, Yin Zhengdao took out a small bag from his body, pointed at the bag, and eight children immediately came out of the bag. The eight children stood on the ground, their expressions still somewhat dazed, indicating that they had been controlled.
However, these eight children were much more normal than the four children that Chen Bei had controlled before. After these eight children stood on the ground, their expressions gradually became normal, and eventually they became just like normal people.
After releasing the eight children, Yin Zhengdao put away the storage bag.
Liu Xiaoyuan had seen storage bags in Su Xue's hands before, but he didn't expect Yin Zhengdao to have one too. This is a really good thing; you can put anything in it and take it away easily. It's a great helper for home, travel, moving, and transporting goods.
Looking at the eight children standing on the ground, slowly returning to normal, Zhou Tianyu asked, "Why are there only eight? Didn't your apprentice Chen Bei send you more than a hundred children?"
Yin Zhengdao seemed to have Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu completely under his control, so he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, he said, "Anything can fail during the experimental stage. Out of more than a hundred people, eight successful products are already quite good. If I were to refine the two of you into my puppets, it would be like adding wings to a tiger."
"Sigh, but it's a bit tricky. One of you is at the late stage of Qi Refining, and the other is a martial artist at the third level of the Innate Realm. It's likely that I'll fail to turn you two into puppets. But it doesn't matter. If I fail, I'll just throw you into the cave halfway up the mountain, so you two can keep those hundred-plus children company."
Yin Zhengdao was like a madman, talking to himself. As he spoke, his cold eyes turned fiery, as if Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu were objects, good test subjects.
Upon hearing Yin Zhengdao's words, Liu Xiaoyuan knew the whereabouts of the other hundred-plus children. They had all been heartlessly thrown into the cave halfway up the mountain by Yin Zhengdao.
No wonder Yin Xiaofei said that he felt chilly even in broad daylight when he entered this cave. It turns out that the beast Yin Zhengdao used the cave as a place to store corpses.
To commit such a heinous act, even cutting this beast into a thousand pieces wouldn't be enough to vent our anger.
"You beast!" Liu Xiaoyuan spat out those two words in anger.
Yin Zhengdao sneered, "Beast? Kid, you're too young. In this world, only the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. I'll make you my puppets in a moment. You two will be my slaves, hahaha..."
Yin Zhengdao continued, "Next, I'll let you two enjoy the fun my puppets bring you."
After Yin Zhengdao finished speaking with a grin, he said to the eight children on the ground, "All eight of you, come at me together and capture those two people."
"Yes!" The eight children not only said yes in unison, but also nodded in unison, perfectly in unison.
The eight children then turned their gazes to Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu. At this moment, the eyes of the eight children were filled with murderous intent, which was out of place with the young man.
Then, the eight children launched an attack on Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu at the same time, forming groups of four to deal with Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu separately.
Faced with the attack of the four children, Liu Xiaoyuan dared not respond, because these four children had lost their true nature and were completely controlled by Yin Zhengdao. Liu Xiaoyuan did not know just how powerful or terrifying they were.
If it were anyone else, Liu Xiaoyuan could have been ruthless and merciless. But with these four children, he thought that they could still be saved. What if he hurt them if he went too far?
"Eee-yah-yah!" The spirit cat in Su Yu's arms suddenly started meowing, as if it were saying something.
Yin Zhengdao stood to one side with his hands behind his back, and said with a sneer, "I didn't expect that you two could get a spirit cat as a pet. You've got quite a bit of luck. However, from today onwards, the spirit cat belongs to me, Yin Zhengdao."
